It is easy for life to become routine. The problem with routine is that we stop noticing the world around us. It becomes easy to miss things when you see them daily. It also becomes easy to take people and things for granted.
For example, when a relationship is new and different, it is almost impossible to not be aware of the other person. The newness of the relationship makes it all new and different. After being friends for quite some time; the relationship can become so comfortable that we forget to notice the person and the specialness of the relationship and take one another for granted.
My challenge to you this weekend is to notice the people around you; especially those closest to you, a spouse, a child, a parent, a best friend or neighbor. Really notice them. Notice the wonderful things they bring to your life. Remember all the joyful times you have shared. Think about the gap that would be left in your life if they were to no longer be available for you.
Now for the hardest part of the challenge, tell them! Let those important to you know, not just that they are important, but specifically what about them is special to you, Why you love them and how they enrich your existence on earth.
